Taken the white Veil.

/DALrIMoRE, Nd, March miss
May McTavisb, daughter of Mrs.
Charles Carroll McTayish. Of thi' city,
took the white veil at the Carmelts
Convent, at Brussels, Belgium, on
Saturday. She left here for Brussels
last November. Several years ago she
entered Baltimore society, and be-
came one OF it. brightest and most sd-
miTed members. Her decision TO
enter q convent was great surprise
and sorrow to her friends. She cor
responded with the progresses of the
converts Of the order In Baltimore
and St. Louis, there being but three of
them in this country, the third being
at New Orleans, and finding thai the
converts were full, the number Of
nuns at each convent being limited,
she communicated with the prioress
Of the convent at Brussels, and the re-
sult was her departure for that city.
Her younger sister, Miss Emily Nc
lavish, took the black veil ON 0c'
tober 7th, 1888, at the Convent OF the
Visitation, Count de Sales, near "a
louisville, Nd, and is known rs Sister
Mary Agnes. The other sister is
belle in Baltimore society. Miss Nc
lavish belongs to wealthy family,
In whom beauty is hereditary. On
both sides her family conn ctions are
the most distinguished. She is, OF
her fathers side, the great grand
daughter OF Charles a,roll, Of Carroll
ton, the signer OF the Declaration OF
Independence, and on her mothers
side the granddaughter of the once
commander Of the army Of the Unittd
States, Gen. Winfield Scott. There

land, where the Duke Of Wellington
presented them at the court Of
the Prince Regent, upon whom
their beauty made q great
impression. They all became
peeresses. Mary, the oldest, married
the Marquis OF Wellesley, the elder

Elizabeth married Baron Stafford, and
Louisa became the Duchess of Leeds.
The McTsvish family, whose posses
sions come from The CAROLS, the GAL

church. II is interesting TO know that
the first house OF the Good Shepherd
In the United States was established
in Baltimore by Mrs. Emily McTavisb,
the mother OF the young lady who
has Just taken the white veil. Mrs.
McTavish, who died about twelve
wears ago, was granddaughter Of
Lady Georgianns, the Duchess of
Leeds. l. was she who gave the houEe
and grounds to the Sisters OF the Good

THE PRODUCTION OF OIL
In EXCESS TO BE PREVENTED
BY A BILL
IntrOducedIn the Pennsylvania House
OF Representatives Reasons
for Such q Measure.

Nav YoRK, March IA Harris
burg, Pa, special says: The bill in
troduced in the Pennsylvania House
OF Representatives. Friday, providing
that no oil or gas well shall be drilled
on any tract within distance Of three
hundred feet OF the boundary line,
except ii be on the boundary line
itself, in which case the product OF the
we'll shall be equally divided between
the adjoining land owner, is the first
feasible measure that has ever been
suggested by which the excessive pro-
duction Of petroleum could be pre-
vented by law. IL has been the bis
tory OF all oil producing territories
that q large proportion OF the land
owners, in order TO save their oil
themselves have been forced to de-
velop territory which they would
have preferred TO have remained un-
developed until some mors advantage
GUS time. There has always been
class OF producers who are determined
to get al the oil possible out of land
in their control In as short a time as
possib Q, no matter how large the total
daily product OF the region is, or how
low the market prices ruled. To do this
they have strung wells 30 close to their
boundary lines that not only the oil
on their own lands was drained, but
the deposits on the other side Of the
line were drawn upon as well. The
latter might belong to persons who de-
sired to let the territory lie idle for the
time, but II they did 80 the chances
were that when they came to uilik
1t by drilling they would find 1t In a
great measure drained dry by the en-
terpis ng operators on the other side
Of The line. II law such as the one
proposed, had been passed FIVE years
ago over 10000, 900 barrels Of oil would
have been saved to the oil regions by
keeping the supply within the de-
mAnd, and thou 'ands OF acres OF oil
territory now exhausted would have
been still untouched by the drill.
The bill will be bitterly opposed by a
large class Of producers, however, and
the fight against il will be made on the
ground that it is unconstitutional.
